BBEdit is a text editor. NW is a word processor and is designed for preparing printed pages, BBEdit focuses on providing means of producing and changing content. Thus BBedit does not offer fancy formatting capabilities, headers and footers, graphic tools, a thesaurus and other staples of most word processors. It appears that you neither want or need these things in an email client, so Mailsmith would be worth considering. This means that you would have the same text engine as BBEdit (both products are from Bare Bones) and you get access to all those nifty things like shift left/right, zap gremlins, keyboard text selection, grep search etc. all from within Mailsmith. As a Eudora user for 8 years, I can say with confidence that the filtering capabilities of Mailsmith are far more advanced than those found in any other email client. Mailsmith offers grep filtering and is well worth checking out. -- N. Nic Hamnett | nic@therss.com.hk
